Though I live on my own and there are few instances to use this in interpersonal relationships, there are a number of shops, restaurants, or other establishments that I feel particularly indebted to in the way this phrase conveys. Without these places, my time in Japan would be more difficult, dull, and meaningless. Without some of them, I literally might not have been able to survive. So, I leave this as a tribute to the ten places I will miss the most. Thank you for taking care of me.

First and foremost, I am proud of the effort I have put into my personal engagement in the LGBT community in Tokyo and the rewards that have come from it. Since the end of last summer I have been volunteering in the Delivery Boys program at community center akta in Shinjuku Ni-chōme, the gay district of Tokyo.
